U.S. Rep. Jill Tokuda will hold a federal resource fair Saturday for constituents on Maui impacted by the devastating fires.
Tokuda and her team will be on-site with a collection of federal agencies to take immediate action on behalf of constituents who've lost personal documents in the fires, according to a news release. Tokuda's staff will also provide ongoing direct support for everyone to ensure that their individual issues are fully resolved in an expedited manner, the news release added.
The fair will be from 1 to 5 p.m. at Maui Economic Development Board's Malcom Center at 1305 N. Holopono St., Suite 5.
The event is not a town hall meeting but designed to provide individual assistance for those impacted by the fires and or those who need assistance with a federal agency.
On-site with Tokuda and her office will be:
• The State Department, for passport replacement.
• FEMA, for disaster aid.
• The Social Security Administration, for Social Security card replacement.
• The Veterans Administration, for veterans benefits.
• Veterans Affairs Pacific Island Health Care System, for health care support.
• Small Business Administration, for small business support.
• U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Services, for agricultural support for producers and communities.
• Maui Economic Opportunity.
Additional agencies are pending.
MEO will provide shuttle service from the shelter at the South Maui Community Park Gym to the federal resource fair. The shuttle is reserved for those staying in shelters or community members directly impacted by the fires.
Tokuda has a fire resource guide on her website to highlight resources that may be available and useful for the Maui community. The guide can be found at tokuda.house.gov.
